Phønix is one of the leading and most experienced Danish folk bands. Their unique sound has roots in the Danish and Scandinavian song and music tradition, but they bring it towards new horizons with a comtemporary and unique tone, which points both backwards and forwards.

Kumela & Widenius are in their own genres the absolute top of Finland, and the encounter of classical and Flamenco guitarist is something completely new in Finland. The program includes traditional Spanish guitar music.

Ilo Ensemble brings the tradition to the present – composing and adapting new reki songs. Reki song heritage is not a dusty curiosity, but a fertile soil and a vigorous way to express thoughts about love or social harm.
